    Thurman: "Manny Pacquiao is a BASIC...great fighter."

    Ups Josesito's reach over him as a possible reason he was getting tagged. Manny Pacquiao won't be able to catch him (his words). That's why he jumps in, and it only takes one moment to catch him (his words).

          He hasn't said anything wrong. I've not seen any performance from Manny in the past 7 years that's debunked anything he said.

              I know, it's just coming off a mediocre win over Josesito is not a great platform to be shouting from. I would like to see him win, but calling Manny basic is a bit of an underestimation...

                  He had been off for 2 months short of two years. He will be fine. If you don't fight for that long your chin will not be used to taking real punches. The guy stood up to Garcias hooks and didn't flinch. He's faced decent punchers that hit harder than Lopez and faster and didn't even flinch. Plus people forget that outside of Round 7 and MAYBE 1 other round he white washed Lopez. The guy beat Porter basically on a year long layoff and Garcia on an 8th month layoff. The version of Thurman we seen beat those two top 5 welterweights, was rusty.

                      You’re fighting a 40 yr old version of him it’s really easy to talk. Fight his 2008-2010 version and you’d be running for your life. Dude has a lot of gears even when he’s getting outboxed.

                      Oh wait for haters pac didn’t had a prime anyway lol
                      He just went from ped version at his peak yrs to no ped when he became older. Lol

                          Pacquiao is rather predictable, yes. But predictable doesn't mean easy to defend against.
